(that's Queen the band, not Queen Elizabeth II, as I originally thought. Now imagine that!)

"Queen have decided to tackle musical piracy by offering fans the chance to legally download up to 100 pirate recordings currently in circulation. Using expert advice, the band has selected the best illegal Queen recordings and will make them available to download on their official website."

Appropriately enough, 21st century Queen tribute act The Darkness are releasing their first download-only single.
